Yes, it's an extra thing to think about.  It also means that code imported 
from Linux needs adjusting to fit with the Xen coding convention.

OTOH, we don't just work with the Linux kernel any more, so there will be 
multiple coding conventions anyhow.  I just set up emacs so I can type "M-x 
xen-c-mode" or "M-x linux-c-mode".

I don't think this is likely to happen any time soon - it'd require patches to 
all of Xen and the tools :-( (and probably to some of the Linux code but 
that's arguably desirable)

Definitely a good plan!  Messing with Python's indentation rules is playing 
with fire...

Cheers,
